Laid up in Hello.

I’m in bed, ill today. I’m almost certain I have Covid, despite testing negative. A couple of days ago I started craving pink grapefruit, usually an early indication of me coming down with something. Yesterday I felt a bit chesty, then when I got home I just felt so heavy and tired and the coughing started. I never start with a cough, that’s usually my last symptom. A couple of my colleagues have tested positive in the past couple of days, Rowan said he was ill for about 3 days before he got a positive test. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if I have it too.
I’ve taken today off work. My new boss, Sharon, has really been thrown in at the deep end. She’s only been with us a few days! She’s still trying to get to grips with all the tasks she needs to do, as well as dealing with us being short staffed. I messaged Janis to see how they were getting on and she said it was bedlam. I refuse to feel guilty though, there is no way I’d be able to give 2 enhanced (2 hour) tours today. We’re supposed to be having a “fun day” at work on Wednesday, with training exercises, food laid on, then going out for a meal in the evening. I’ll be a bit fed up if I can’t go to that.
Plus I’d be VERY annoyed if I lose my sense of taste! It’s very important to my job!
Annoyingly I feel relatively fine when I lie down and I think I’ll just go and get something from downstairs, then struggle to get back up them again.
I might go in the bath in a minute with some Vaporub, see if that helps with my chest.
